Joey Swoll lashes on a fashion influencer who invaded New York streets

An individual was dressed in a tuxedo vest, with a plaid print, along with black, formal short pants. They also had black sunglasses and a satchel bag. The person put their phone on the sidewalk of a busy New York St. and started filming their outfit. People were coming by from all sides, and at the end of the video, a woman wearing a white crop top and jeans walked by from the front of the camera because she needed to go somewhere.

Unfortunately, the comments in that video were not very kind to the woman, and even called her ugly. The CEO of Gym Positivity is not someone who will take any toxic behavior, even when it is outside the gym. He took it upon himself to comment on the behavior of the person in the video, as well as the people in the comments.?

Joey said, ?Imagine being so entitled that you think just because you have a bunch of followers you can put your phone down anywhere and you own that space, and nobody can walk through it.? He also added, ?Including a busy public sidewalk in New York City.? Swoll said that there was no need to disrespect the woman who passed by in front of the camera since she had to be somewhere. He ended the video with his patent line, ?You need to do better.? He has talked about the farce of fame and followers on social media before to prove his point of being a good human being.

Joey Swoll says that fame is false

In an Instagram short Swoll was seen asking,??When did it become ?I?m better than you because I have more followers than you? When did that become a thing? How does having followers equate to you having a good heart and a good soul doing acts of kindness? Being somebody that simply is a good human??
